WORKSHOP - Content provides a clear understanding of (1) the motivations of children who 'tune out' when parents, teachers, or other adults speak; and (2) communication approaches that get 'adult deaf' kids to listen. Role plays develop skills that are immediately useful. Methods are positive, mutually respectful, and effective. (Ages 2-14)

WORKSHOP - Especially helpful for those who wish to use a positive approach and logical consequences when discipline is required, but struggle to 'come up' with successful ones. Workshop highlights an in-depth look at the concept of logical consequences: participants learn the four R's of consequence effectiveness, and to recognize and avoid actions which can subtly sabotage even the best consequence. (Ages 3-14)

This eight-session course is practical, down-to-earth, and comprehensive; it offers an approach to parenting based on principles used successfully in Adlerian Child Guidance Centers throughout the U.S. and internationally.

Equipped with insight into motives for children's actions, participants learn effective approaches for encouraging, training and disciplining. Adults complete the course having a "sense of direction" and the confidence and skills necessary for managing the every-day challenges of parenting and teaching children. (Ages 1-14)

This eight-session course takes the issues of parenting and teaching children to a whole new level! The focus is on insights and practices which serve as a guide for the often-nebulous challenge of rearing and teaching children to become self-reliant individuals.

Participants learn an approach which promotes closeness, and inspires dignity and mutual respect. An inspiring series for parents of children all ages; a must for parents of teens.
